I was thinking the same, don't forget the locals will never see the potential of the property.. if he can sell to someone with bug idia it could be the best, airbnb, tourist attraction, its a peace of history, even that colonial house would be ideal as a hotel to be shared by many..
Finally my home town is getting the attention it deserves! 😍😍😍 Thank you Njora! Turudi soon nikuulizie maswali na Kimeru uone episode ikigeuka season. 😂😂😂
I know a home made the same way, built in the early 70s by a Kenyan couple and it's still livable. Only the roof had to be replaced in the mid 90s. I have contemplated many a times of building something similar.
@treetops Mwitu😂😂 Dude your show is priceless. Thanks for always giving us a feast for the eyes 😍while educating us on how amazing and beautiful kenya 🇰🇪 is ❤️
I like the comment at 12:34 about permission from the DO to cut a tree for construction. That is very true and was one of the protests lodged by Charles Elliot on behalf of the settler community in Kenya to the British Colonial Administration. The Book "No Picnic on Mount Kenya" is a good read on the Italian prisoners of war.
The advantage, the ownership of the house went to Angaine, who was widely recognised as the 'King of Meru.’ That is why it has been maintained. For the treetop, someone should rescue it. This is a historical monument.
@@gottimaranzano9409 yes, not only in UK that is very far, back in Kenya too, in Lamu, Malindi and Mombasa there are buildings with over 400 years and still standing.
Agreed. The issue with the other house, the former hotel, is that it fell into the hands of people who don't have the resources to maintain it. In any case, because it's a historical site, it should be the government 's responsibility to maintain it.
These houses and observatory should be turned into a resort and some of the proceeds goes to the owners and communities living in these areas. It would attract alot of tourists form biritish and italian . Also a resort would preserve the houses in top notch condition. They would rehabiltiate the place. Activites can be horse riding, hiking, excrusions to Mt Kenya etc

Wee cam u cover more on Timau, I can see it has more history than meet the video, I fill like yhis video has not covered enough bana, Timber to start with the red ceder aka African pencil ceder.
A herculean task to replenish the indigenous forests for climate change and others important uses. Red cedar. Mitarakwa ya Lebanon. So, where is Lebanon in the world map?

Wow am happy to see my rural home getting recognised. One love from diaspora and thank you for making me feel at home again.

Thanks for that info.
I grew up in Timaū and people were felling mītarakwa as recently as 20 years ago. Very curious when the laws applied so strongly.
Good old lolani kalu feels!
Yes my grandpa was born in 1868 and his second wife in 1897

Hii ya orofa ingekuwa na mtu wa kumanange ingekuwa poa sana

Here in the UK there are houses which are over 400yrs old and still standing and in good shape

Why the British and Italians!! Don't we have our own local tourists....
The history of Kenya cannot be written by the Indian writers who dominate our school curriculum
Makosa ni sisi wakenya, hatutaki kujituma....waindi vitabu vyao vinasema eti walichangia kupigania uhuru ...woiiii

I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT
My home town timau
Hi do you still reside in timau,
Timau wapi?
My home town to the world 🌍❤️
You need to visit Deloraine House in Rongai Nakuru
Timau town elevation is 2200 meters above sea level and Kiambogo is around 2550 meters above sea level. Did I hear you say 2800?
This hotel in Timaru should be renovated
This house should be bought back to the tourist office for historical purposes
Why....
Please turn on the 'Clip' feature on your videos so 2:22 I can share snippets of Elsephan's jokes lol
Home🤗
I've a house in timau, but barida yauko ilichuja uko, now I've another house in Thika
very nice
Mau Mau waliingizwa box
Mzungu has a different culture and mindset. A 1946 house looking magnificent

Timber to start with the red ceder aka African pencil ceder.
What are they doing to replant the trees, the kenya forest 🤔 its so green, how much is land in that end, don't give in plots..

Please. Do not discard anything as this are antiques. Something should be done to preserve history.
I can't imagine how many more historical sites and buildings are dotted around the country, being in a state of disrepair..
These houses if they were built by Italians must be after 2nd world war in the fourties.
you need hick in ngong hills
Timau my place but currentry in gulf ,twende has remaind me many activities iwas pass through during that time.
